Hi,
Have you tried downloading new drivers and reinstalling them. With
getting only 16 colors it sounds like either their is a driver conflict in
Windows 9x that is only letting him run VGA Mode or he is running Windows
3.x with the 16 color driver (Windows 3.x requires a seperate driver for
each color/resolution combination.)
You might also want to try starting in safe mode, delete everything in
the Device Manager under video, then shut down the machine, put the video
card in a different slot, and then rebooting. I have had this fix problems
that nothing else would (moving a PCI card to a different slot makes Win 9x
think it is a totally different card).
HTH,
Donald Gaither
